How long after stopping plavix, should side affects clear-up?

My side affects started with tingling at outside of left knee and up to mid thigh lasting several seconds, and would come and go. Then the right shoulder became very painful off and on for several days coming to constant through the night preventing sleep. Then shoulder cleared-up and indix fingers began to swell and painful. One finger eased up and ring finger began. Swelling of hands has lasted four days with pain shifting from finger to finger with indix finger being the most painful. Pain is reduced after four days but swelling remains. Plavix was taken along with Simvastatin for 22 days before tingling began. Plavix and Simvistatin were stopped after 24th day. Today is 30th day.

I too take Plavix (Clopidogrel) & a statin - Atorvastatin since the last 2 years, i would talk to my doc./pharmacist for the kind of effects that you experience,I do complain of constipation & peripheral edema, hope you get well soon, all the best.
